about

in 2004, after years of trying, we finished our debut and eponymous album. It bears no relation to anything we did before or after
Of course, they were all wrong, but here is what people said about it at the time:

A cool album of weird acoustic/electronic songwriting led by grizzled, world weary vocals. Well worth checking out“ (base.ad)

There is much playfulness here, with highlights being the fluffed up Steely Dan of "No Logos" and the dark humour of "Summer of George" Bob Stanley (Uncut)

“A very agile, urgent and lateral record, full of wit and emotion” - Leonardo Clausi

“An ace album of cutesy beats to blow away the cobwebs of evil.” Vic McGlynn (BBC 6 Music)

 "You might remember the rather nifty band, Family Cat? Good, now forget them, because Jack Adaptor may have a couple of ex-cats in the line-up, but they're doing some weird n wonderful things with electronica, scratch, pop, real tunes and what a German critic called "very nice harmonic singing", the same critic went on to say that the songs of Jack Adaptor "deals with all things we don't need and don't want." Sounds too good to be true, eh? Check 'em out, kids, check 'em out. Nick Miller (Unpeeled)

 “Wave after wave of pleasure. I can’t wait to spin it again.” Miles Hunt (The Wonder Stuff) 

"Jack Adaptor deliver on their self-titled debut album an advantageous mix that will captivate you without question. You will only find more to explore in a haystack." Bernd Seidel

 “Brilliantly written, recorded and produced, there really isn't a negative word to be said. It's summed up beautifully in the chorus to "Pop Music" with the question "Do you like music?" In terms of Jack Adaptor? The answer has to be: "Yes, yes I do". www.joyzine.co.uk 

"Blitz-intelligent songwriting" Robert Rotifer FM 4 "Five Stars" Now Magazine “

Jack Adaptor is the criminally overlooked British pop-statement of 2004” Standard Newspaper “

“Jack Adaptor demand to be appreciated.” Katholic 
France
A big record, a beautiful album” - www.froggydelight.com
